It’s in the new Australian Curriculum, but do you need help with 21st Century Learning Design

Our partnership with Expanding Learning Horizons means that we work together on a range of activities supporting the enhancement of teaching and learning with technology. Some of these (like the Windows in the Classroom program) are free for schools to participate in, whilst other activities are run as paid professional development activities.

The next set of events from ELH are the 21st Century Learning Design program workshops later this month. They are a two day workshop, with online sessions to follow on from the activities you plan as part of the workshop. The objective is to provide appropriate support and training for teachers who are design lessons to reflect the changes in the Australian National Curriculum:

There is a growing awareness of 21st Century Learning, especially since it has been reflected within the Australian National Curriculum. There is also a wide appreciation of its value, which is supported by a wealth of evidence from educational researchers. However, as yet, few teachers know how to design lessons to put it into practice.

Here’s an opportunity to take the lead in your school and discover, as one participant puts it: “being a part of something new and exciting; allowing me to increase my skills and learning whilst teaching my students.”

Over two days you’ll work together with other teachers in a collaborative and supportive environment to understand:

The six skill-sets today’s students will need in the workplace and their future lives

The innovative rubrics for measuring use of these skills in classroom and project work

How 21CLD links in with the Australian Curriculum

How to create a compelling case for 21st Century Learning in your school

You’ll also learn how to code and redesign your own curriculum, to get you started on implementing 21st Century Learning on your return to school. An online discussion with fellow participants six weeks later will give you the opportunity to share your successes and discuss overcoming any roadblocks you may have encountered.
